Grey and windy sky for our walk this morning. Hot and sticky too.
Quiet morning pottering about. Watched the start of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race - we were in Hobart in 2014 when Wild Oats came in as the winner.
Storm built and came over with thunder rumbling and a few flashes of lightning and some heavy rain with the wind about lunch time. Charlie, Carla and Coen arrived and parked their van down the side of the house.
The boys loaded the park bench that David had bought onto the truck and took it down to the foreshore. Paul and Jenny also joined us with Charlie etc. They carried it with Paul to under the tree and set it up. David had organised a plaque. Took some photos. I had found this t-shirt in her cupboard - she loved Bingo. The crab had been dried and mounted on a board for many years then it fell off so it has been in a box on top of the cupboard so we thought it was fitting to go back into the ground with Erica as she loved crab. They also put a pair of Erica’s divining wires in the hole too. The boys spoke then Terry. Everyone had a moment to remember Erica as they scattered her ashes. It was very lovely. She will be happy to sit under the tree and watch the waves roll in and people enjoying her favourite beach. Kept a bit of the ashes to put on her favourite Triple Desert Rose back in Bundy.
Amanda and Ben headed back to Maryborough as sadly they have to work tomorrow.
Quiet afternoon - hot and sticky. A few games of pool were played as young Coen is quite good so the challenge was on.
After dinner we played a game of Kelly Pool. Terry and I fought it off to the end with Terry winning - not bad for 90.
Rain started as we headed off to bed. Strong winds coming from the south for a change.
